Stop-NlbClusterNode

Stop-NlbClusterNode

Stops a node in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster.

Syntax

Parameter Set: NonPipeline
Stop-NlbClusterNode [[-HostName] <String> ] [-Drain] [-InterfaceName <String> ] [-Timeout <Nullable> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: Pipeline
Stop-NlbClusterNode -InputObject <Node> [-Drain] [-Timeout <Nullable> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Stop-NlbClusterNode cmdlet stops a node in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster. When the nodes are stopped in the cluster, client connections that are already in progress are interrupted. To avoid interrupting active connections, consider using the Drain parameter, which allows the node to continue servicing active connections but disables all new traffic to that node.

Parameters

-Drain

Drains existing traffic before stopping the cluster node. If this parameter is omitted, then the existing traffic will be dropped.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

  • Microsoft.NetworkLoadBalancingClusters.PowerShell.Node

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • Microsoft.NetworkLoadBalancingClusters.PowerShell.Node

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example stops the cluster node named node2 on the local cluster.

PS C:\> Stop-NlbClusterNode node2

EXAMPLE 2

This example stops the local cluster node. Before this cmdlet stops the cluster, this cmdlet drains all existing connections for up to 10 minutes. During that time, new connections will not be established on this node. Any remaining connections after the 10 minutes will be forcefully terminated.

PS C:\> Stop-NlbClusterNode -Drain -Timeout 10
